    Great overview Ricky! I like that you‘re honest about the true cash costs in the end since the food is so expensive. Most creators just say, that Maldives travels is free, which is FAR from the truth!
    One note: you get free breakfast at the Hiltons with gold status aswell.

    Sucks to wait a year and spend all those points just to go to the Maldives during rain season 😩

    How would you fully optimize points? I’ve got a lot of AMEX membership points, Aeroplan points from the Reserve, and I just signed up for RBC Avion. Is it possible to transfer all my AMEX points to British Airways Avios to stack with RBC Avios? Good videos.

    Are the points needed to redeem still close to whats been disclosed on this video with the dynamic pricing system?

    I'm so jealous looking at all these offers. Here in Australia, I'm locked out of all other sign up bonuses from amex cards for 18 months after applying for a single amex card. I'm still 12 months away from my next amex card :(

    I have the Hilton card and diamond status. However, every time I look at Waldorf all the rooms are over a 1 million points per night. I have a free night reward and a quarter of a million points so I was going to try and book 2-3 nights. However, I cannot even afford one night at any of the resorts. Where are you seeing them for 150K points per night?

    Great info! Just in time! Seriously If you complain about high costs in Maldives, then don't bother going. You are locked on an island and be expected to get charged an arm or leg for everything!

    Fyi St Regis has gotten so cheap when using points, they don’t include breakfast anymore. They give you that continental breakfast -have to pay extra for the full breakfast.

    But the only way $2500 -> $0 makes sense is if you value your points at $0. There's no free lunch.

    This is not true lol. I signed up for the bonvoy card. I got 150k points. I can use 30k points per night to book. Which basically isn’t enough to stay anywhere in the summer. This video is terribly misleading

    Stop saying free please, points have equivalent value and are not given for free. You might as well exchange cash for bitcoin and buy a mansion and say it’s free.
